WHY: From 2014-2016, there were 36 fatal crashes and 145 serious injury crashes involving a substance-impaired driver under 21 years of age. There were 44 people killed and 194 seriously injured in these crashes.

After an initial training session, TRACTION youth create and implement action plans for school and community activities in an effort to reduce unsafe driving habits and the death and serious injury resulting from traffic crashes.

TRACTION is available to all schools in Missouri. For more information about how your school can become involved in this program call 1-800-800-BELT (2358).
